How to Make
-
Step 1: Select which oil you would like to make. Stir ingredients together.
-
Step 2: Apply to cuticles and fingernails, be sure to apply to both sides of nails.
-
Step 3: I allow to sit for 5 minutes then massage into cuticles, fingertips and gradually into whole hand.
-
Step 4: Note:There was some concern about macadamia nut oil due to allergies, so beware of that if using on someone besides yourself.
-
Step 5: Note: For myself I want to try avocado oil because of it's qualities for the skin. I'm also looking into mineral oil as an extender.
